This is my 1994 GT Ricochet with all original parts as spec'd in 1994, (except for the seat). All period correct. Bike retailed for $700 back in 1994, and would be considered an entry level mountain bike, above the recreational bikes, but not quite Deore LX level.

The groupset is complete Shimano STX SE (special edition) with a Chromica finish(brownish Black chrome plating). This groupset was made for only one year, and was a precursor for the STX- RC group that was to come. Though being a step below Deore LX, it shared much of the same parts as the Deore LX groupset, but was designated for a lower price tier bike.

This Ricochet was a step below GT's Karokoam steel bike, with Butted Tange tubing. It also had a recessed cable route on the underside of the top tube.

The fork is a Rock Shox Quad 10. The wheelset is also STX SE hubs with Mavic M400 rims, and Panaracer Smoke and Dart tires.

The seat is a Gel seat....quite weird squishy feeling, but along with all the other parts, dated from 1994. So everything on this bike is from 1994 which is cool.

Oh, there are a few cool and original GT parts: the handle bar/bar ends/grips/stem/seatpost. It's nothing rare or special, but it's old, cool, and in great condition for being 15 years old.

Now for a few pics:
